Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - "Do not be a frog sitting at the bottom of a well." I've always enjoyed books of sayings,proverbs,quotations and such.I also often use them in discussions.Let's face it these short trueisms have been handed down from one generation to the next foe ages. When I found this little book,I really felt, since the Chinese culture is so remote and different;I thought their Proverbs would be as well. I guess that wisdom really knows no borders. One thing you will see in this book is that the same thought is amply put into different ... Read More Rating: - This book is in ENGLISH only !! Be Warned ! I bought this book after reading Elizabeth Wu's listmania..There are some deceptive chinese characters shown in the sample pages so I figured it would be in Chinese, maybe pinyin and the english translation !! Bad Mistake..!! If you are a reader on Chinese, its not fulfilling to read it only in English. Rating: - Best-Loved Chinese Proverbs The most romantic that ever happened to me was motivated by this book and one of its proverbs. My boyfriend wanted to find something culturally significant (I'm Chinese)to use to propose to me. Apparently, he searched far and wide for a book like this and it was difficult to find, but when he found Theodora Lau's "Best-Loved Chinese Proverbs" it all fell into place. He also made quite the impression on my traditional Chinese family with such lovely words. Rating: - too simple If you are Chinese or speak Chinese, this is not a book you will be interested in. Rating: - Highly recommended!! This is an excellent book. It has great proverbs that eloquently state things I am thinking. I often refer to it when I can't articulate a thought or experience I have had, and when I'd like to quote the book. It is a thought-provoking book in many ways. It is also well-organized, so when I'm looking for something in particular, I know exactly where to find it! see more Browse for similar items by category: Mythology - World Literature - Literature & Fiction - Subjects - Books - Folklore Mythology - World Literature - Literature & Fiction - Subjects - Books - General Mythology - World Literature - Literature & Fiction - Subjects - Books - General AAS Social Sciences - Nonfiction - Subjects - Books - Folklore & Mythology Social Sciences - Nonfiction - Subjects - Books - General
